ABOUT

Lessons and Enlightenment for the Mind and Heart.

My name is Zainab, Zen for short. Hence, Zen Words- Zen meaning me and also peaceful :)

So far, I've experienced a lot in life and I am really passionate about helping other people. I hope to become a clinical psychologist, but for now I thought I could use my experiences and the lessons I’ve learnt to help you.

Whether you’re searching for a dose for the soul, the mind or life generally- I hope here’s where you’ll find it.
